[vcf-midatlantic] DEC KDF-11 question

[David Riley]

Seconded. 2.9BSD works fine on F11 chipsets; my 11/23 handles it just fine.

If you're in search of one, I might have one spare.  Let me know if you're still looking and I'll poke around in my stash (which needs reorganization anyway).

If in doubt, try out your intended system in SimH first.  It'll usually give you an OK idea whether it'll work.
